IRENA Renewable Energy Country Profiles take stock of the latest developments in the field of renewables at country level around the world. Each profile combines analysis by IRENAs specialists with the latest available country data and additional information from a wide array of sources. The resulting reports provide a brief yet comprehensive picture of the situation with regard to renewable energy, including energy supply, electrical generation and grid capacity, and access. Energy policies, targets and projects are also considered, along with each countrys investment climate and endowment with renewable energy resources. The energy statistics presented here span the period from 2009 until 2012, reflecting varying timelines in the source material. Since data availability differs from country to country, wider regional comparisons are possible only for the latest year with figures available for every country included. Despite the time lag in some cases, the evident differences and disparities between countries and regions around the world remain striking. The current package of country profiles is just a starting point. The geographic scope will continue to expand, and existing profiles will be enhanced with new indicators, with the whole series maintained as a live product on the IRENA website (www.irena.org). Your feedback on both the format and the content of these country profiles would be greatly appreciated. Please address any comments to statistics@irena.org.

1 Products
Coal comprises the solid fossil fuels consisting of carbonised vegetal matter (hard coal and brown coal) and the products derived from them (e.g. patent fuel, coke, blast furnace gas, coke oven gas). Peat is a solid formed from the partial decomposition of dead vegetation under conditions of high humidity and limited air access. Peat is not considered a renewable resource as its regeneration period is long. Oil covers the liquid fossil hydrocarbons comprising crude oil, liquids extracted from natural gas (NGL), fully or partly processed products from the refining of crude oil (e.g. gasoline, diesel) and functionally similar liquid hydrocarbons and organic chemicals from vegetal or animal origins. Natural gas includes natural gas but excludes natural gas liquids, which are included in oil and oil products. Nuclear shows the primary energy equivalent of the electricity produced by a nuclear power plant assuming an average thermal efficiency of 33%. Wastes are materials no longer required by their holders and which are used as fuels. They comprise municipal waste and industrial waste. Hydro shows the energy content of the electricity produced from devices driven by fresh, flowing or falling water. Hydro output excludes output from pumped storage plants. Biofuels are the solid, liquid or gaseous material obtained from living or recently living organisms (e.g. wood, charcoal, biogasoline, biodiesels, vegetal or animal waste). Solar is the energy that is captured from solar radiation to produce a useful energy output (electricity from solar photovoltaic, heat or electricity from solar thermal). Geothermal is the energy of the heat that is extracted from the earth, usually in the form of heated water or steam. Ocean shows the energy content of the electricity produced by tidal movement, wave motion, ocean current and other sources of marine energy. Wind shows the energy content of the electricity produced by wind turbines. Renewables are sources of energy which are naturally replenished as they are used. They include hydro, biofuels, solar, geothermal, ocean and wind. For the purposes of energy statistics, the renewable portion of municipal waste is also included.
and peat as the primary source of domestic energy for cooking and heating (source http://www.who.int).
3 Other indicators
World Bank ease of doing business index ranks economies from 1 to 183 in 10 areas of business regulation: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, resolving insolvency and getting electricity (source: http://www.doingbusiness.org). Registered Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project: the CDM allows emission-reduction projects in developing countries to earn certified emission reduc-
tion credits which can be traded and sold, and used by industrialised countries to a meet a part of their emission reduction targets under the Kyoto Protocol. A project is registered when the Executive Board of the CDM gives its final approval (source: http://cdm.unfccc.int).
4 Resources
Note: Data on the assessment of the resources of tidal power and ocean current is not available. Therefore, and for the purposes of the resource assessment only, ocean energy is limited to wave energy. For each renewable energy source, the rating is explained in the table below.
Wind High Several areas with average wind speed above 7 m/s at 50 m high
Solar Several areas with global horizontal irradiation above 1800kWh/m2 per year Several areas with global horizontal irradiation between 1200 and 1800kWh/m2 per year No identified area with global horizontal irradiation above 1200kWh/m2 per year
Hydro One or more sites can be equipped with a large hydropower facility (>10MW)
